Please sign this. I know too many people suffering from this horrible thing. There is to my mind such a lack of awareness, a vacuum of conversation and what seems to be a lack of research around Long COVID.

This is eugenics.

This is a disability rights issue.

This is what we’ve been warning about for years.

“Choose your baby” is another way of saying “eliminate the undesirables”.

It’s out in the open and it’s wrong.

This bill will kill trans kids if it passes the Senate and is signed into law. And we are going to need to find alternative means of support and alternative places to save lives if it does.

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.

The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

Annual reminder that if you see a menorah in someone’s window, that’s an act of defiance against bigotry and hate. It’s also pride and bravery.

It’s says “a Jew lives here” and that’s both painting a target but also reminding everyone that we still exist and we always will.

Anthony Geary made Luke so complex and fun!

I'm sad that he passed but happy to hear that he found someone to share his life with for 30 years (!) My heart goes out to the man who now has a Tony-shaped hole in his life - I can't even image...💔 #GH
Anthony Geary and his husband Claudio Gama, with Max the cat.

If it doesn't get inside you, it can't make you sick.

Respirators are designed by experts to help protect you from aerosol hazards, including COVID, the flu and other airborne diseases, and tested to make sure they are effective - and they are.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is a quack.

John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett worked on Bush's legal team in this case. so yeah...
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

Probably ruined his credit, and put him into debt, when he stopped paying his bills, too.

But innocent until proven guilty huh?
Fortunately by the third day of deliberations, the prosecutors decided to just drop the charges. But the damage had already been done, the defendant already lost his job, apartment, his pets, custody of his kid, and all his possessions while in jail awaiting trail.
